Description of problem: Could not parse metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-17&arch=i386 Error: Error importing repomd.xml from fedora: unable to open /var/cache/yum/i386/17/fedora/repomd.xml Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-17-Nightly-20120214.09-i686-Live-soas.iso (and live-Desktop) How reproducible: Try to install from yum Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

This looks like a releng issue, not yum: # repo=fedora-17, arch=i386 is missing from the metalink stuff, if you look through the error output (click on the link above and open it in gedit). Assigning to releng people. Proposing as Alpha blocker, as this probably prevents updates working on i386 - "The installed system must be able to download and install updates with yum and the default graphical package manager in all release-blocking desktops". Note this doesn't need a package update, so it's not a blocker that affects spinning. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Seems to also have been reported through trac, as https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3142 .
this is fixed now. sorry for the trouble. ;( There's a mirrormanager bug that was exposed, and will hopefully be fixed now.
